The Waning of the Middle Ages?

All mention of Diversity, equity and inclusion to be removed, all mention of solar energy removed, no fluoride. Take away 2 billion of subsidies to Harvard together with its tax-exempt status. An immigration court throws a Turkish student in detention without bail for writing an editorial in a college newspaper. Legal and illegal immigrants are swept up willy nilly and sent to the notorious prison in El Salvador with the threat that anyone deemed a threat will face a similar fate. Where is my Roy Cohn...or Savonarola? The president and the DOJ defy the courts. Social Security is threatened along with Medicaid. Veterans hospitals are forced to work on skeleton staff. A prominent news organization (the AP) is barred from the White House for refusing to designate Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. The Federal Reserve always sedulously protected, as an independent agency, come under pressure from the executive branch for the first time in its history. The head of the Department of Health Education and Welfare suddenly is a purveyor of quack remedies out of a QAnon playbook. A mother ending an ectopic pregnancy which could kill her is tried for murder. It’s the Middle Ages with a plague followed by an Inquisition aimed at the extinction of the ivory tower and the project of liberal education itself. It’s the Crusades only this time the knights are perpetrating a genocide in The Promised Land. Enter the lunar landscape of Mad Max. Oh yeah let’s not forget Radio Free Europe, NPR, WNYC, PBS. All the stations and literally the world goes dark literally and metaphysically.
